Entry Description

I was captivated by Nana's dancing; her mind and body were perfectly in sync with her surroundings.
I took all of it in, the world spinning around me, and fell into a trance. I felt strongly that this was a scream of the heart--her scream.
Nana herself is pansexual, and I found that her feelings reflected those of LGBTI individuals.
In Japan, discrimination is fading away, and life is gradually becoming easier for LGBTI individuals.
Every day, deep within my heart, I hope to rid the world of ignorance and intolerance towards LGBTI individuals.
